Q: How is Android #17 back? Wasn't he dead? Also, he's a park ranger! Is Toei taking cues from TFS? Android #17 was wished back to life along with everyone else who was killed by Cell. Toyotarō has said that Toriyama is more particular about gags than he is about anything else. We do know that he permits Toyotarō to change things up, but he looks at his storyboards and occasionally draws things himself for Toyotarō to use as a reference. Without Toriyama's original draft, we may never know what is and isn't his.



There isn't (and probably never will be) an explicitly defined Dragon Ball "canon". Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"? The anime and manga are both variations on a basic plot by Toriyama.
